You see, back in 2010, I uploaded some maps from HGSS (like [[:File:Kanto Route 22 HGSS.png|Route 22]], [[:File:Kanto Route 2 HGSS.png|Route 2]], or [[:File:Kanto Route 3 HGSS.png|Route 3]]), while CoolPikachu uploaded others (like [[:File:Pallet Town HGSS.png|Pallet Town]], [[:File:Kanto Route 1 HGSS.png|Route 1]], or [[:File:Viridian City HGSS.png|Viridian City]]). However, we used different methods to get the maps, which causes the maps to not coincide between them. Initially, I didn't want to overwrite CoolPikachu's hard work with my own, but after talking about it a bit on [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/f195/edit-request-s-156958/index15.html this thread], I would like to request permission to replace CoolPikachu's maps with mine, to avoid inconsistencies between all said maps, if possible. --[[User:Gabo 2oo|Gabo 2oo]] ([[User talk:Gabo 2oo|talk]]) 00:53, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

:You're more than welcome to replace them, but consistency between the images isn't really a priority. Like MAGNEDETH noted in the edit requests thread, it's more important to get location maps for locations that are lacking maps. - [[User:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#DA70D6;">Kogoro</span>''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#FFB6C1;">Talk to me</span>''']] - 06:58, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I asked Eridanus about this, and although he was fine with it, I was asked to talk to you about it:
Hello, I asked Eridanus about this, and although he was fine with it, I was asked to talk to you about it:
I've been working on the Field weather animated images, and had this suggestion for the description on the file pages.  Right now, each image uses an image template with the actual location.  My idea was to have this format instead, using the [[:File:Hail_IV_Field_Heavy.png|Heavy Snow file for Gen IV]] as an example:
I've been working on the Field weather animated images, and had this suggestion for the description on the file pages.  Right now, each image uses an image template with the actual location.  My idea was to have this format instead, using the [[:File:Hail_IV_Field_Heavy.png|Heavy Snow file for Gen IV]] as an example:
{{location|Heavy snow|altlink=Hail (weather condition)|floor=in the overworld|Pt}}
 
<nowiki>{{location|Heavy snow|altlink=Hail (weather condition)|floor=in the overworld|Pt}}</nowiki>
 
In this example, the heavy snow found in HGSS's Mt. Silver has the same animation, so I was thinking it might be better to have this more general description, which could then be applied to a location template for each Gen IV game (including DP). I was also thinking it would match with the more general "(weather) (Gen #) Field.png" name it has as well. I know that the field weather conditions are only found in the overworld in specific locations (although rain and snow are found in many places in Generations IV and V), but I think it would put the focus on the actual weather, and not the locations as it is now.  This will allow for weather images from a specific game to apply to others in the same generation when appropriate, even if the location is not applicable (i.e. all current Gen IV images are from Pt, but the animations are the same in DP and HGSS, etc.).

:To be quite honest, I don't see how such a change in the summary is really necessary or an improvement. It's still saying the image is from Platinum, so it's really not generalized any more than the current format. I do agree, however, that we should only list one summary for the game that the screenshot/animation was taken from. If we want to go more general, though, we'd be better off with a summary template for weather conditions that notes generation rather than individual games. But, I don't really think that is all that necessary either. The existing summary format explains the image quite well, with significant detail.
:Another note, please do not include summary templates on talk pages. Doing so causes improper categorization, and we don't need talk pages categorized in with images. I've added nowiki tags around the inclusion so it won't cause further miscategorization. - [[User:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#DA70D6;">Kogoro</span>''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#FFB6C1;">Talk to me</span>''']] - 06:58, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
